Trivia / Info:
- Baloo was right to call King Louie an ape, not a monkey because orangutans are members of the ape family.
- Surprisingly, Baloo's habit dressing in drag does actually occur in the actual TaleSpin series. However it isn't just to solve crimes, as Baloo has a penchant for getting into schemes that require him to dress up in drag to suit the situation.
- The scene when Baloo breaks Kaa's mouth is similar to a scene in King Kong.
- The description, which refers to fellow Disney Afternoon show, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, makes reference to the fact that in the show, Chip 'n Dale's clothes were inspired by Indiana Jones and Magnum P.I.
- While it could be mostly a coincidence, the scene where Bagheera talks to the agents may be a homage to a similar scenario from the original Rudyard Kipling novel. In the book, Bagheera was born in captivity in a menagerie with his mother as a royal pet to the Raja of Udaipur. Once his mother passed on, he plans to escape into the jungle when he eventually becomes a mature adult. Showing that he has a special knowledge with humans since he was raised by them.
Goofs / Nitpicks:
- Mowgli isn't buff in the movie.
- This is due to the body of the figure used for Mowgli being reused from Pi Patel in Boat Film Megamix.
- In the TaleSpin series, Rebecca and Baloo do not have any romantic feelings towards each other. However, Rebecca is implied to have some feelings for Baloo in the series itself.
- Kaa is much shorter than usual.
- For some odd reason, while Baloo, Bagheera and Mowgli look the way they do in the first and second (but direct-to-video) Disney films, Kaa resembles a snake while King Louie looks more or resembles his younger self from Jungle Cubs nothing like in the original Disney film.
